A review by mellabella
The Paperboy by Pete Dexter

4.0

I was a little wary of this book.I guess seeing who was cast in the movie made me biased. But, I am glad I read it instead of letting it sit like I had. For like, weeks. The storyline kept me interested. It wasn't what I would call fast paced but, the plot definitely allowed for a few tense moments. I liked the relationship between brothers Ward and Jack. They love each other... Not in an expressive way but still. I only wish that there had been a little more with Charlotte Bless. Allin all The Paperboy was a sad poignant read for me.
